Hi The File->Collect for Output function was built for collecting files for sharing. Have you tried this? Also, if you need to do this in bulk, and have some scripting skills, the files can be edited programmatically to edit all paths if required. Separately, we've considered options for localised paths (to the document) for a future version. Craig |

Thanks Craig! I use the "collect for output" function, this is the only way to do it. But 150times? For each file? And what about sending documents to my partners and let them work on it and then getting it back to finish the project per mails or transferprogramm? No way... nowbody can sit hours (and several times for each document) to reconnect the links... however... No, I have no scripting skills, sorry. Please have a look how other programs allow you to transfere files from one place to the other and find an easy solution. Like "link again within this file" or so.... this would be great! Thanks and best regards! Vivi (who urgently would like to transfer her work to the NGO... ) |

here is a first patch: https://gitlab.com/a.l.e/scribus/compare/master...manage-images you can see it in action here: https://peertube.social/videos/watch/5d853734-bc08-4ff7-a7df-8b60f1e2feba for the next week there is an appimage: https://gitlab.com/a.l.e/scribus/-/jobs/333413447/artifacts/file/Scribus-nightly-x86_64.AppImage here some more details: When changing the path of an image, it should be possible to optionally change the path in all matching images. If the selected image has an invalid reference, only images with an invalid reference will match. - [x] Add an "Apply to all Matching images" checkbox in `scribus/ui/picsearch.ui` - [x] Set the image file name in the "Search" dialog (currently it says "... for search"). - [x] select the first item in the list (if any) - [x] replace all matching - [x] Add a warning if the "Matching" only replaces broken links. - [ ] Add a button to the manager in the "Image" palette - [ ] Add a tooltip for the matching checkbox - [ ] Find out if other patter matching are useful / should be implemented Implementation notes: - The select button is now always enabled, since the list of matches is never empty. - There is not a _global_ current item anymore: each function gets the item it works on. My full notes can be found here: https://gitlab.com/a.l.e/scribus/issues/5 |

p.s. i will probably post the final patch in pygmee's tickets: https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=9154 |

Thanks Ale! It took me a time to continue my tentatives, sorry for the long time passed. I apreciate your efforts, but I confess, I am completly overchallenged. I have no idea how to implement your script https://gitlab.com/a.l.e/scribus/compare/master...manage-images And I do not know, how to change path like you described in this link: https://gitlab.com/a.l.e/scribus/issues/5 Is it something I should be able to or is this for future versions of scribus? Or is it to ask a person who can write software programs? The link scribus/ui/picsearch.ui leads to the page http://www.scribus.com/ui/picsearch.ui, which can be bought... What I would need, as a normal user ist a new version or a plugin or extention or anything, I can install without HTML codes... Any ideas? thanks and best regards Viviane (not french, sorry :-) |

hi @viviane , all the information above was not for you but for the other developers. and i sadly forgot to upload the patch linked above... it's now done in 0009154 . if you need further help until you can use the new feature in scribus (well, first we will need to wait for jean or craig to accept the patch...), please come to the scribus and ask there for help... ciao a.l.e p.s.: no, i did not forget... but pygmee did fill two times the same issue... the patch was in 0011776 ... |

the patch is now in. @viviane but if you want to use the feature you (and your clients) will need to go for the development version 1.5.6svn . there are many people using the development version in production, but before you go for it, you should test it "thoroughly" and make sure it's good enough for you and your clients! feel free to ask questions about it in the scribus forums (https://forums.scribus.net). |
